Within every great city can be found many attractions, some of them tucked away, worthy of a visitor's interest. But there always exists a core area where the demands of business and the desire for pleasure come together, where the local landmarks enjoy a special appeal to the international tourist. In Venice, St. Mark's Square, one of the city's most romanticplaces, plays that role. Here you will find a small house of great character and charm, The San Marco Palace Venice ****, opened February 1999 but already well-known. With a strictly limited number of guests and emphasis on the individual, San Marco Palace Venice expresses its elegance in an understated fashion, creating a romantic hideaway with a wonderful sense of style, warmth and friendliness. As one would expect, the staff delight in offering a highly-personalized, unobtrusive service. The San Marco Palace Venice offers the unique alternative of a home away from home, with 26 new one and two-bedroom Suite-style accommodations , whilst benefiting from all the amenities and services of the Hotel. Guest rooms feature individually controlled thermostat, mini-bar, 25" television with sat channels, radio, direct telephone, in-room fax (on request), safe, bath and/or shower. For safety sake only electrical system (no gas) and armoured door with video-entry phone. Each morning you are greeted at the San Marco Palace Venice with a rich complimentary buffet breakfast, then the famous La Colomba Restaurant will tempt you for its fine cuisine for lunch or dinner. Special features complimentary newspapers, Les Clefs d'Or concierge service and same day laundry service. And if you can bear to tear yourself away, Venice, unique and exceptional, and its surrounding area like the islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello, the Venetian Villas, Padua, Verona and Cortina are looking forward to hosting you.
